For more than 40 years the North Wall of Buffalo Gorge, in southeastern Australia, has been a focus for many of Australia's most accomplished climbers, providing those in search of adventure with many challenges. "The Hard Way to the Top" is a story about two of the longest and most challenging routes on the North Wall of Buffalo Gorge, "Ozymandias Direct" and "Lord Gumtree", and the people who climb them.

In 1992, Glenn Singleman set a world record for altitude BASEjumping when he jumped from the Great Trango Tower in Pakistan. When Glenn discovered a higher cliff, his wife Heather challenged his belief and her fear and asked him to train her to climb and BASEjump the highest cliff in the world, on Ama Dablam.
